Crochet Edged Fleece Blanket

Made with this course.

Project Description

What are you most proud of?
I love how fast and easy these are to make, and I took my time finding the perfect fleece and yarn combination. You can make one of these in about an hour--perfect for twins and triplets!
What advice would you give someone starting this project?
Be sure to use fleece fabric-- it doesn't fray on the edges. Other types of fabrics won't hold up, but fleece is perfect for this project.

What you will need

fleece

crochet hook

rotary cutter

scissors

ruler

yarn

Q&A with Linda Permann

difair asked:

Your crochet edgings are such a nice finishing touch! They turn a simple piece of fleece into something truly special!

Linda Permann answered:

thank yoU!

YarnOwlCreation asked:

I have been dying to make one of these! What did you use to make the holes for the border? I was thinking they have to have some sort of spiky, rotary tool. Thank you for your input!! :)

Linda Permann answered:

I used a rotary blade from Skipstitch.com. I go into depth about how to use it in the class, I highly recommend the tool!

Maria Colon asked:

I would like to make this blanket. What do you use to make the holes in the blanket??? I am a beginner in crochet. Is there any requirement to take the Crafty Crochet Embellishments course? Can I pay it with pay pal???

Linda Permann answered:

You just need a reliable internet connection and the desire to learn! You can pay with a credit card or with paypal. In the class, I use a special rotary cutting blade to make the holes (see comment below), but I also discuss other ways you can make them.
